Curio 22 has been released!
This release has two huge features that Pro users have requested for years!
This is a free automatic update for everyone with a Curio subscription via the Mac App Store, or who have purchased a traditional license and are within your year of free updates. Otherwise discounted license renewals are available so you can get this release plus another year of free updates (and help support Curio’s ongoing development )!
💻 Curio 22 requires macOS 10.15 Catalina through macOS 12 Monterey on Apple silicon or Intel.
Synced Figure Instances [Pro]
You can now create copies of a figure where the text contents and all meta properties (checked state, percent complete, dates, tags, resources, priority, etc.) are synced between the original figure and all instances. This is an extraordinarily powerful feature that has been a frequent customer request.
Modify the original figure or any of the instances and those changes will be synced to all other figures. Some in the productivity space call this kind of functionality transclusion.
The figure styling is not synced and can therefore be different between all the instances so they can be used in lists, mind maps, or elsewhere with completely independent styling.
File-Backed Text Figures [Pro]
Asset figures that reference text files can now be displayed as a text figure for editing directly within Curio. Copies of an asset figure will all render and modify the contents of the same shared asset text file. This has also been a frequent customer request.
The associated text file could be embedded within the project or aliased to an external file (perhaps even one in a cloud-synced folder with your iOS devices) so that changing that text file outside of Curio will cause all the text figures that use that file to dynamically update themselves.
Resample Image
Right-click on a jpg, png, or heic image figure to resample it with a new format, dimensions, and/or DPI resolution for faster loading and reduced project file sizes.
Note that some features are only available in certain editions of Curio.
